Western Australian Current Acts Western Australian Current Acts That in case it shall
be made to appear to the satisfaction of the Supreme Court that any
registration purporting or intended to be made in conformity with the
provisions of this Act is imperfect by reason of any mistake or omission on
the part of the said Registrar or any person in his employ, or of any person
concerned in effecting such registration, and that such mistake or omission
was not wilful or fraudulent, and that the same may be rectified without wrong
or injury to any person lawfully claiming an interest in the subject matter of
such registration, then and in such case it shall be lawful for the said
court, on such terms and conditions (if any) as to it shall seem meet, to
order that such mistake or omission be duly rectified; and if any person whose
act or signature would, in strict conformity with law, have been requisite to
the original sufficiency of registration, shall be dead or absent from this
State, or under any incapacity, the said court may further order that any
other person named in such order shall sign or act in lieu of the person so
deceased, absent or incapacitated; and the said Registrar, on being served
with any such order, shall forthwith obey the same, and make all necessary or
convenient references to such order in his books of registry and indexes; and
every registration when so amended shall, from the date of such amendment, be
as valid and effectual to all intents and purposes as if the same had been
originally complete and regular.
